PSG starting player injured ahead of Champions League clash with FC Barcelona
On March 22, one of the key players in the Paris Saint-Germain squad had to be replaced in the 26th minute of the match due to a possible injury.
In the game between France U23 and Ivory Coast U23, PSG player Bradley Barcola was substituted in the 26th minute due to an issue that arose in the back of his left thigh, raising alarms at the Parisian club. With just 20 days until they face FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, this automatically becomes a concern for PSG.
The FIFA international break has already started to cause problems for the Parisian club. Despite being only 20 years old, Barcola has become one of the most important players in Luis Enrique's squad. His speed and dribbling skills have dazzled in Ligue 1, making him a key candidate for PSG's future project.

With four days left in the international break, some PSG players have already played their first match, while others still have two games to play. It is hoped that no player will suffer from the infamous "FIFA virus" and that Bradley Barcola's injury will not worsen. Hopefully, his gesture during the match will turn out to be a false alarm for PSG.
Moreover, Barcola's injury adds to PSG's growing concerns during the international break. With several players representing their national teams, there is always a risk of injuries or fatigue affecting the squad's performance upon their return.
The club's medical staff will closely monitor Barcola's condition in the coming days, hoping for a swift recovery. In the meantime, PSG will be hoping for positive results from their players' international outings and a smooth transition back to club duties once the break concludes.
